Theatre Rentals

The theatre and lobby spaces are available for your meetings and receptions. Rental prices begin at $350.00. To ask about available dates and times, simply call Jason Kralicek at 816-531-7529, ext 13, or e-mail him at jkralicek@unicorntheatre.org.

Interpreted Performances

Unicorn Theatre offers interpreters at performances upon request, making our upcoming productions accessible to the hearing impaired.

Please contact us if you need an interpreter at a performance.

Often entertainment is out of reach for people who are hearing impaired. The challenges of communication can create exclusion and the inability to participate in the Arts. The Unicorn has integrated the language of the spoken word with the visual language of sign into a theatrical experience for everyone.

Auditions

General auditions have passed for the 2010-2011 Season. Unicorn Theatre accepts unsolicited headshots and resumes year-round to keep on file. Both Equity and non-Equity actors who wish to submit information, may do so:
